Barcelona Free Walking Tours and more

Who is Runner Bean Tours? We are Gorka & Ann-Marie, a Spanish-Irish couple who started this walking tour project in 2010 inspired by our passion and love for everything with Barcelona’s name on it. We love this city and we love our job. Sometimes people ask if we offer some of our tours in other places apart from Barcelona. The answer is no. We are not a multi-national as we feel it is important not to lose touch with your city and your people...
